Sorry to tell you that those are bedbugs, and thy are very difficult to get rid of. I know that is what they are b/c my mom currently has them. (Long story) If you rent, check your local statutes and/or lease. I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere, but the landlord may be responsible for treatment. You will probably need to get them treated professionally to get rid of them, as like I said they are a very stubborn problem to treat. Sorry you have to go through that it's no fun and the bites will drive a person bananas.

Those are not Bed Bugs. No clue what makes you think that.
These are Carpet Beetles. Also called Varied Carpet Beetles.

This is a bed bug and needs to be professionally treated in order to get rid of them. You need to contact the landlord to report this because they more than likely came from another unit.

The entire complex needs to be treated in order to get rid of them. They travel from one unit to another and they are hard to get rid of.

The pattern on the back look like it is tan/brown/black which is indicative of carpet beetles. Normally you can get rid of them with a good vacuuming and if you are able, steam cleaning. Hopefully that will eliminate the issue.

Post back with an update.

That is not a Bed Bug!!! Bed bugs are usually clear or see through and appear flat! Red/Brownish or Pink like stains are a good indicator for bed bugs, due to them feeding when we are sleep on our blood.

Then us rolling over and squishing them or feeling them and swatting and killing them. Looks like a carpet beetle!

It's a carpet beetle. Make sure you do a deep cleaning of your carpets, maybe shampoo them if needed and just vacuum your couch out under your bed and just all the little dark crevices. They're not an infestation like bed bugs, but they are annoying and if you don't like bugs then definitely will bother you. Easy to get rid of them. Don't buy any sprays or any crap like that because they don't work.

If you're going to use anything, then get the powdered form of diatomaceous which will cost you around $7 or $8. There's been studies done that show that the sprays and those stupid plug-ins never work. When they did the study with the diatomaceous, they found that it was the only thing that actually worked and almost killed everything.
